An Opportunity to Bless Others
The family of some of our bus kids recently moved into a three-bedroom place with opportunity to move to a four bedroom, one soon. With five children, they have some immediate needs for furniture and other household items, even a washer and dryer. If you have items that you might possibly donate, call the church or text Patricia Johnson at (479)831-8196.
MEDITATIONS OF THE HEART
Things to meditate on can come from any part of life because the word of God is life. My thoughts and meditation have covered a wide range of things over the years as major events during the different stages of life have passed. During all these years the varied issues of being married, raising a family, and ministering in a church setting have occupied my thoughts continually. I find this to remain the same even now while serving as your pastor. One topic that has been in my thoughts for many months now concerns the future of our church in attendance, discipleship, and evangelism. Specifically, my mind has gone to what we as body need to do to be an Acts 1:8 church that takes the gospel to our community, our city, our state and nation, and to the world. This past Sunday, God moved me to deliver an introductory sermon concerning prayer. The conclusion that my meditations have led to is that we need to begin our renewal effort with a concerted effort of prayer. I am asking all our folks to join me in 21 Days of Prayer in which we seek to know the holiness of God and respond to Him in repentance and faith that leads to renewed focus on the gospel. Will you accept this call to join your brothers and sisters at Haven Heights in this effort?
Bro. Jimmy
MUSIC NOTES
Having the opportunity to come to and be a part of Haven Heights has been one of my life’s greatest spiritual joys. Somehow the people at Haven Heights and God’s Holy Spirit have given me the desire to be the best I can be for the cause of Christ. Not long ago, Bro. Jimmy mentioned, how that if we aren’t mindful of our thoughts and actions, we can find ourselves participating or even thoughtfully indulging in a sin that we may want to think is inconsequential. No sin is inconsequential. Even the things that we allow to enter our minds have an effect on our outward behavior. Confronting sin in our lives is always difficult. It takes spiritual determination and effort. It is worth it though. It usually takes time to come out victorious, but Christians and non-Christians alike will notice that you are serious about following and walking with Jesus on the straight and narrow path. Sometimes when I am attempting to “correct a thing “ I fail, but temporarily failing, and ultimately failing because I gave up are two vastly different outcomes. Let’s all encourage each other to be the very best we can be for the good of others, for God’s Glory, and Kingdom, and for our good as well.

RAGLAND’S RAMBLINGS
Happy fall! The 100-degree temperatures may finally be behind us. Soon we can complain about how cold it is while drinking the hot chocolate and sitting by the fire. We’ve talked about that with the Youth. We tend to focus on the 10% negative, and not the 90% blessing.
Top of that list is the Krause family, especially my brother CJ. I know the stress and anxiety he faces, yet nearly every day he is proclaiming the goodness of God. The young man is a role model to me. I believe his son is making progress and that one day God may be raising a testimony that will move hearts. If you can thank God in times of Job, what great feats will God give you?
Man, that's a lesson for us all. Sometimes the show of faith can trump the best evangelist sermon.
God Bless
Brother Randy
